That is what I wanted to name the new training series that we developed at my employer, Perpetual Technologies (PTI.net). Unfortunately, I couldn’t convince anyone to change their name to Nacho Mama, but I digress…

On August 22 and August 23, PTI is offering a two day workshop on SQL Server Performance and Troubleshooting. You can read more about it here as well as download a flier to share with your co-workers and friends.

I will be delivering three of the modules – “SQL Server Performance Analysis”, “Indexing for Performance”, and “Locks, Blocks, and Deadlocks”. Hope Foley (blog | twitter) will be delivering three modules – “SQL Instance Configuration”, “Basics of Database Maintenance” and “System Performance Analysis”. Arie (AJ) Jones (blog | twitter) will be delivering two of the modules – “Index Overview” and “Query Execution Plans”.

We’ve written original content for these sessions – all of it based upon experience from the front lines as we work with SQL Server on a daily basis. These couple of days promise to be exciting and full of SQL Server goodness.
